[ozmidwifery] Home birth in the UK
You might be interested in this circular that has just come out of the Nursing and Midwifery Council in the UK. http://www.nmc-uk.org/aFrameDisplay.aspx?DocumentID=1446 There are some lovely quotes: Midwives are experts in normal birth and the NMC's standards require them to be competent to support women to give birth normally in a variety of settings including in the home. Withdrawal of a home birth service is no less significant than withdrawal of services for hospital birth Research over the last couple of decades suggests that home birth is as least as safe as hospital-based birth for healthy women with normal pregnancies.

[ozmidwifery] Re: Home Birthing on the Central Coast.
Hi, I am a Student Midwife at Gosford Hospital, I was wondering if there are any independent midwives on the Central Coast I would love to see a Home birth, and also a home water birth. Can anyone help? Thanks.

Title: Message Hi Donna, I don't believe there are any actually practicing up here, but I do know a Central Coast friend who wanted a home water birth and found someone to do it. I will forward your email to her and see if she can come up witha contact for you. :) Nicola Morley Trainee Doula -Original Message-From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Donna HoughtonSent: Saturday, March 25, 2006 5:06 PMTo: ozmidwifery@acegraphics.com.auSubject: [ozmidwifery] Re: Home Birthing on the Central Coast.
